The welfare system of the
School provides an environment in which each individual, with
support and encouragement, is appreciated and is allowed to develop
his or her own personality and talents while learning to live as
part of a community.
The school's Health Unit operates a full
outpatient facility, including health promotion and counseling. It
is run by a registered pediatric nurse who is on call 24 hours a
day. A school matron is based in the boarding house.
We are affiliated to a large
specialist practice here in Abeokuta, where the school doctor is
based. Parents must complete a detailed health questionnaire when
their child starts school. This should be completed in as much
detail as possible so that the school nurse and her colleagues can
meet any medical needs the student has. If a student is ill or
visits a doctor during holidays the school nurse should be informed
as soon as possible after the student recommences school. Any
medication should be clearly labeled with the name of the child,
drug name, date and clear dosage instructions. This is very
important to help the nurse provide appropriate care.
It is a parent's responsibility to keep their
child up to date with immunizations.
